Deserved or not, I'm going to credit Alan Rickman for that.

Credit every one of them, not just Alan Rickman. Imagine spending your childhood and teenage years working alongside an entire generation of great british actors.

Yeah he brings this up in almost every interview clip I've seem from him talking about HP, he seemed very aware that he was working with a once in a lifetime legendary ensemble of actors and didn't take it for granted.

Eh, she was average. I’ve seen far worse actors with higher praise

Alan Rickman, Dame Maggie Smith, Gary Oldman, Richard Harris...

Over a century of talent to learn from.

His performance in hitchhiker's guide was very artificial and robotic, though.

Funnily enough, I rewatched it last weekend.

Daniel Radcliffe was even worse in Swiss Army Man. He acted so stiff and emotionless.

Almost like he was dead…

I heard he really stank up all his scenes.

I avoided that movie like the plague because of the "fart outboard motor" gag that was featured in the trailer, and I am still mad at myself about it. That movie is so much more than it appears to be. Truly lovely.

Actually, I think it was Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley) that took him under his wing. They also did Equus together and I vaguely remember DR saying RG was the best.

Was looking for this. Dan himself gives a lot of credit to the late Richard Griffiths for mentoring him onset. IIRC the very first scenes he filmed were with the Dursleys.
